Romania’s Ministry of Labor has published mandatory standard contract templates for companies employing workers from outside the European Union. These documents, outlined in Official Monitor Order 655/2026, aim to regulate the employment of non-EU citizens. The required contracts cover three key agreements: service provision between the employer and labor recruitment firm, worker placement between all three parties, and the individual employment contract. These measures are designed to standardize the hiring process and ensure fair labor practices. The new regulations apply to Romanian firms utilizing foreign labor sourced from outside the EU. Businesses must now adhere to these specific contract models when employing workers from non-EU countries. The publication of these models signifies a formalization of procedures for foreign worker recruitment and employment within Romania.
